At about 10 o'clock on the night of February 28 2021, a fireball streaked through the sky over England.
With the time difference to Australia, the Global Fireball Observatory team at Curtin University were the first to dig into their cameras' data, quickly realising there may be very special meteorites to find around the town of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire.

A team of scientists has proposed building an "interstellar interceptor," a spacecraft capable of getting up-close and personal with the next asteroid or comet to enter the solar system .
So far, astronomers have spotted two such objects whizzing through our star system: The cigar-shaped interstellar visitor 'Oumuamua, which was first spotted in October 2017 and made headlines as a suspected alien probe , and the comet 2I/Borisov, which astronomers first spotted in August ...
LightSail 2 just met its fiery end, but solar sailing is just getting started - The Verge

After three years in space, the Planetary Society's LightSail 2 mission burned up in the atmosphere on Thursday, November 17th.
LightSail may now be over, but it has opened the door to the use of solar sailing in space exploration. "It doesn't fit every situation, but now it gives another arrow in the quiver of options for types of propulsion you can use," said Bruce Betts, Chief Scientist and LightSail program manager.
The Mysterious Comets That Hide in the Asteroid Belt - The New York Times
What do you expect to find in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter? Unsurprisingly, asteroids — millions of bits of rocky debris — would be the correct answer. But recently, astronomers have found some oddball objects that appear to be misplaced hiding in the rubble: comets.
Mars: how we discovered two huge, unusual impact craters – and the secrets they unveil
Examining impact craters can teach us a lot – from understanding the composition and size of the asteroids or comets which created them, through to unearthing the properties of planetary surfaces and interiors.
These marsquakes were rather different to previous ones recorded by InSight. For example, they seemed to be what we call "surface waves" – that is, seismic waves propagating in the outermost layers of the martian crust (its surface layer).

SA Rooftop Solar Shutdowns - What's Happening Today?
Some South Australian solar owners may see their systems remotely shut down at times again today as work continues on electricity infrastructure repairs after Saturday’s storms.
Just to briefly recap, storms that rolled through South Australia on Saturday resulted in widespread blackouts; particularly in the Adelaide and Yorke Peninsula regions.
